TABLE II.

Pitch ranking and electrode discrimination thresholds (α), and ECAP separation indices (Σ) for each subject. Pitch ranking and electrode discrimination α values approaching 0 indicate better performance. Psychophysical thresholds designated as “>1.0” indicate the subject could not rank or discriminate the adjacent physical electrodes. These values were excluded from the means and standard errors (SE). NR = no ECAP response.
